This vegan maple caramel sauce is delicious but also a somewhat healthier option to traditional caramel sauce that is often made with corn syrup and other ingredients that should definitely be avoided. Made from wholesome ingredients, this vegan maple caramel sauce is a perfect topping on waffles, ice cream, crêpes or my vegan carrot cake. With only a few ingredients and a few simple steps, this deliciously sweet sauce comes together in minutes.
Here are the steps to make this vegan maple caramel sauce:
In a small saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut sugar, salt and arrowroot flour until very well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium to high heat and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Let the caramel boil for about 8-10 minutes or until the mixture has thickened slightly. Stirring will prevent the caramel from burning to the bottom of the pot. Remove from heat, and let cool for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla and vegan butter.
Let cool once more till the caramel sauce is slightly warm or let cool completely for a thicker sauce. Serve as a topping for whatever your heart desires and enjoy.
